I do not own Naruto nor do I make any money off of this.

Chapter 3:
"And so, you will be partnered up for this project," Iruka finished. The girls instantly started fighting over who would be paired with Sasuke. "To be fair, I already came up with all the pairs." He pulled out a list. "Kiba and Shino, Hinata and Tenten, Neji and Sai, Gaara and Lee, Ino and Sakura, Shirai and Juta, Choji and Shikamaru, Hiro and Rin, and Sasuke and Naruto. I want you guys to get along. This project is worth fifty percent of your final grade." Everyone groaned. Then the bell rang.
Naruto looked at Sasuke who grabbed his things and walked out with Neji and Sai. Ino, Sakura, Shirai, and Rin followed at them. Juta and Hiro ignored the others and left for lunch. Hinata, Tenten, Gaara, Lee, and Kiba left for their next class. They had second lunch. (in this school, there are two lunches.) Choji, Shikamaru, Shino, and Naruto headed to lunch.
"This project is going to be troublesome," Shikamaru said.
"At least we have good partners," Choji said. "But Naruto is stuck with Sasuke."
"It's ok," Naruto said. "I can't let me grades fall anymore than they have."
"Kiba better do his half of the work," Shino said. The four of them got into line. Naruto was happy because there was ramen on the menu. Suddenly, he was shoved to the side.
"Move it loser!" Shirai said.
"Yeah, Blondie," Sakura said. "Get out of the way."
"Hey!" Ino yelled. "There's nothing wrong with being blond, Pinkie."
"What was that Ino-pig?" Sakura asked.
"Shut it forehead!" Ino said. Sakura and Ino was the most popular girls in school. Shirai, who recently transferred in, became quick friends with the two. She was mean and tended to be rude. What joined the three was their crush on Sasuke.
"Come on guys," Rin said. "Calm down. Let's just get in line." Rin was also pretty popular. She was actually a very nice person. She didn't like the way Sakura, Ino, and Shirai treated people. And what made her more likeable was the fact that she didn't have a crush on Sasuke. She was happily dating Hiro. Sakura and Ino huffed as the got in line, cutting in front of Naruto.
"Hey!" Naruto said loudly. "You're cutting!"
"So what, loser?" Shirai said. "Don't be a cry baby." Naruto opened his mouth to retort, but the girls got very loud. Naruto turned to see Sasuke walking over to them. "Hi Sasuke-kun!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Shirai. Did you get that thing I asked you for?"
"Oh, yes!" Shirai stuck a hand into her purse and pulled out a small box. "My brother said it was the newest stuff."
"Hn," Sasuke grunted taking the box. He stuffed it in his pocket. He looked around and his eyes found Naruto's. "What is it Dobe?"
"N-nothing," He turned away then remembered something. "When should we get together for the project?"
Sasuke thought for a second. "I'm free tonight. Come over to my house." He walked off.
"Hey Naruto?" Choji asked. "Do you even know where Sasuke lives?"
"Ah!" Naruto said. "Hold my place for me." He ran over to Sasuke and got his address before returning to his spot in line. The truth was that he already knew where Sasuke lived, but he didn't want anyone to know that.
"I feel bad for Sasuke-kun," Ino said. "He has to spend time with the idiot."
"Ino," Rin said softly.
"I mean who would want to spend time with a freak like him?" Ino said loudly.
Naruto lowered his head. Shikamaru put a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Just ignore her." Naruto nodded. They made it through lunch with almost no more harassment.

Naruto and Shikamaru were on the roof enjoying their free period together. The others were in class. "Shikamaru? There is something I want to tell you." Naruto spilled everything about his love for Sasuke and the blackmail.
"There is a big difference between lust and love," Shikamaru said. "The problem with today is that some people don't know the difference anymore." Naruto fell silent at that.

"Who's this, little brother?" Itachi asked. Itachi Uchiha is Sasuke's brother. He was the President of Uchiha Corp.
"Hi," Naruto said. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki." He held out a hand. Itachi shook it.
"Sasuke doesn't usually bring over his friends," Itachi said.
"We aren't friends," Sasuke said. "The Dobe came over for a project we have to do together." He didn't notice Naruto's hurt expression.
"I see," Itachi saw Naruto's expression. He could tell that Naruto was in love with Sasuke. "Go get him a drink. He is still a guest." Sasuke did as he was told. Itachi turned to Naruto. "How long have you been in love with my foolish little brother?"
"I d-don't know what you're talking about," Naruto said. He blushed as Itachi got closer.
"You can't hide it from me," Itachi said.
Naruto sighed. "Since Junior High."
"You should be careful," Itachi said.
"I know," Naruto said. "Loving someone who doesn't love you back is like hugging a cactus; the tighter you hold one, the more it hurts. But we have to hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain, because all of life's lessons are taught through pain. And I'm willing to do anything to stay my his side."
"Hn," Itachi said. "Then good luck." He walked away.
"Here," Sasuke said walking over to Naruto. He handed the blond a coke. "Follow me." They went up stairs and into Sasuke's room. "I was thinking about during the Medieval period."
"That's fine," Naruto said.
"Good," Sasuke said. He handed Naruto a book. "I picked up some stuff at the library. We should each read a book and take notes." The two spent the next few hours reading. Naruto was laying down on Sasuke's bed while Sasuke was at his desk. Naruto sometimes looked up from the book and looked at Sasuke. Sasuke was truly a handsome boy. Sasuke noticed Naruto staring at him. "What is it Dobe?"
"N-nothing," Naruto said turning his attention back to the book. He looked up again to see Sasuke staring back at him.
Sasuke put his book down and got up. He walked over to Naruto. Placing his hands on either side of the blond, Sasuke moved closer. He smirked at the look in Naruto's eyes. "You're horny."
"N-no," Naruto said. "I'm not."
"Then what's this?" Sasuke groped Naruto's clothed erection.
"Ah!" Naruto moaned. His eyes found Sasuke's and he was done. He was sucked into deep pools of black. Naruto let go of his book and swung his arms around Sasuke's neck. "P-please."
"Fine," Sasuke said. He pulled down Naruto's pants. Then he grabbed a bottle of lube. Quickly coating his fingers, Sasuke slipped a finger inside Naruto. A few minutes later, he had three fingers inside Naruto who was a moaning mess. He took out his hardened length and easily entered the blond.
From downstairs, Itachi heard a thud and instantly knew what it was. 'So they are sleeping together. I wonder when Sasuke will fall. Naruto is his type.'
